Lu Ye had long wanted to talk to Yang Qing again, but after Yue Xin's death, he went to the Wushuang Continent and had not been free.
Now that the stronghold on the Wushuang Continent had been built and the few Tianji Pillars that he brought over had been placed in suitable positions, there was basically nothing for him to do here.
Other cultivators might be lacking in battle merits, but he was not.
His accumulated battle merits had long exceeded seven digits. He dared not say that no one would be able to surpass him in the future, but it was definitely unprecedented.
Therefore, after receiving the news, he immediately returned to the Nine States from the Wushuang Continent.
The Tian Continent was one of the nine major continents of the Nine States. Although it was named Tian, it was not much different from the other continents. It did not mean that the entire Nine States was centered on it.
For those mortals who did not know much, the saying that the sky was round and the earth was round might be deeply rooted in people's hearts, and even many cultivators with low cultivation levels thought so.
However, the Nine States was actually a sphere. This was something that Lu Ye saw clearly in the starry sky. For such a spherical planet, any place could be the center, so there was no such thing as a center.
Lu Ye arrived at the Tian Continent through the teleportation of the Tianji Pillar.
Somewhere in the direction of the Tianji Chamber of Commerce, he leaped up and sped all the way.
Although he had returned from the Blood Refining Realm, Little Nine still maintained his right to teleport the Tianji Pillar, which was the only preferential treatment he could get from Little Nine at this stage.
Half a day later, he arrived at a spiritual peak. From the map, this spiritual peak belonged to a Tianyun Clan, but it was not part of the clan's foundation and could barely be considered as the clan's sphere of influence.
Just like Mount Tunshan to the Jade Blood Sect.
In theory, the entire Mount Tunshan belonged to the Jade Blood Sect, but in reality, the Jade Blood Sect's foundation was only a few spiritual peaks, or perhaps more, but there was no way to include the entire Fragrant Mountain for the time being.
The spiritual peak was nameless, and compared to the other spiritual peaks nearby, there was nothing special about it.
Originally, this place was deserted, and even the cultivators of the Tianyun Clan would not deliberately come to such a place. At most, they would just pass by.
However, just a while ago, the cultivators of the Tianyuan Clan who passed by were surprised to find that there was a small wooden house on the spiritual peak, and there were cultivators coming and going.
The Tianyun Clan naturally would not leave it alone, and sent cultivators to check and confirm that it was an itinerant cultivator of the Cloud River Realm who had settled here.
The sects of the Nine Prefectures, big and small, treated the loose cultivators as a group.
His attitude wasn't that of a representative of the capital, so he didn't make things difficult for him. After all, he was just a Cloud River Tier cultivator.
Since they had taken a fancy to this nameless spiritual mountain, it was common for them to stay here. However, they were warned not to commit any crimes and not to disturb the lives of the mortals nearby.
Naturally, the young man agreed and settled down here.
When Lu Ye arrived, he immediately saw a figure dressed in green, leisurely lying on a self-made recliner under the shade of a tree, leisurely enjoying the cool air.
Next to him was a snow-white rabbit, its eyes brimming with tears as it looked at the late Lu Ye, its eyes full of grievances.
Little Nine's voice sounded in his ear, "Lu Ye, why are you only here now!"
She looked like she had been waiting for him for a long time.
Lu Ye gave Yang Kai a calm look before stepping forward and bowing respectfully, "Senior Yang! “
The cultivators of the Heavenly Cloud Capital knew that this cultivator was only at the first level of the Star Metal Arts, but they didn't know that he was the strongest warrior in the Nine Provinces. Even a Sunshine Realm cultivator like Yue Xin had his neck broken and his head twisted off.
If they knew, they wouldn't know how to feel.
Yang Qing closed his eyes to rest, as if he didn't hear anything.
Lu Ye didn't mind and took out a table, a chair, and a set of tea brewing tools from his storage space.
He sat down with his back facing him.
The others couldn't find Yang Qing, because he had no intention of meeting them. For a powerful person like Yang Qing, if he didn't want to, no one in the Nine States could break in.
Lu Ye was able to find this place only because of Little Nine's tip. However, if the other party really didn't want to see him, he could have just left. Since he stayed, it was a good start.
Lu Ye's movements were meticulous as he boiled the tea. Lu Ye wasn't proficient in the way of tea, but in this situation, it didn't seem right not to order some tea. So, he did.
After a while, tea was served, and Lu Ye was still respectful. "Senior, please enjoy."
Yang Qing opened his eyes and sat up straight. He picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp.
Lu Ye was amused. This guy didn't seem to be proficient in the way of tea. Those who truly understood tea couldn't possibly understand it as well as wine.
"If you have something to say, then say it. If you have nothing to say, then scram. Don't disturb this seat." Yang Qing didn't have the slightest awareness of being short-mouthed. His tone wasn't polite at all.
This made Lu Ye feel a sense of closeness. The person in front of him didn't seem to be a powerful dragon, but rather an extremely senior.
Lu Ye eagerly filled Yang Qing's cup.
Yang Qing narrowed his eyes. "Kid, do you think that I don't understand the way of tea at all?"
Lu Ye was a little stunned. "What do you mean?" Yang Qing snorted coldly. "Everyone says that when the wine is full, the toast is full.
People say that when the tea is full, the tea you poured for this seat is overflowing. Are you trying to drive me away? "
Lu Ye looked wronged. "That's impossible! Senior just helped the Nine Regions escape from the disaster. The Nine Regions can't even thank you enough. How can we chase Senior away? Junior was just about to suggest to the major sects to set up a long life memorial tablet for Senior.
Morning and evening, morning and evening, three kowtows in the morning and evening. Generations will revere you and your descendants will worship you. "
Yang Qing looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Do you know that the dragon race has an innate divine ability? That is, we can distinguish whether a person's words are true or false? “
Lu Ye looked at him calmly. "Junior's words come from the bottom of my heart. Every word is sincere. There is no falsehood."
In the end, he was still a little doubtful. "Does the dragon race really have such an innate divine ability?"
Yang Qing said in annoyance, "That's the innate divine ability of Xie Zhi."
Lu Ye knew that he had been fooled. No wonder.
He was old. How would he know when he heard about it?
What innate divine ability did the dragon race have?
Thinking about it, he asked, "What is the dragon race's innate divine ability?"
Yang Qing said leisurely, "Time." “3
"Time?" Lu Ye was confused. What kind of innate divine ability was this?
Then, he saw Yang Qing raise her hand to cover him. In that instant, Lu Ye felt as if his thoughts had slowed down by many times. Yang Qing's movements weren't fast. Instead, they seemed sluggish, but he couldn't avoid them no matter what he did. "Return."
This was an absolutely torturous feeling. Just think about it. If he was affected by such an innate divine ability in battle, no matter how many lives he had, it would not be enough.
It seemed like an instant, but also like a long time. Only then did Lu Ye come back to his senses. His face was full of thoughts.
His expression was solemn. "Senior's cultivation is so profound. Junior is in awe of it."
This was a sincere sentence. Moreover, Yang Qing's actions just now should not have much to do with his cultivation. That was the display of the dragon race's innate divine ability. In other words, even if Yang Qing's cultivation was the same as his, he could still make him feel that way.
Changing the topic, he said, "Senior is such a powerful and noble person. Isn't it too much of a grievance to live in a small place like the Nine States? It's said that dragons soar to the Nine Heavens, but the Nine States is ultimately just a small pond. It's still okay to raise some fish and shrimps … "
Yang Qing interrupted him. "In the end, you still want to chase me away! “
Lu Ye lied through his teeth. "No, absolutely not. It's the fortune of the Nine States that Senior can oversee the Nine States. If anyone dares to chase you away, I will wring his head off." He sighed. "However, Senior, you still have to consider the concerns of us small shrimps. Junior has come here for no other reason than to know Senior's attitude towards the Nine States."
There was no point in beating around the bush. In the end, he could only lay it out. This was also the helplessness of the weak.
"If you say that you are unhappy with the misery of being suppressed for ten thousand years and want to destroy the Nine States to vent your anger, then hurry up and do it. It will save everyone from being on tenterhooks. If you care about old ties and are willing to protect the Nine States, then the billions of people in the Nine States will be deeply grateful. As for what it is, Senior has to give us a definite answer. "
The attitude of the Nine States was indeed not to chase Yang Qing away. Who could chase away an expert like him? It was just that everyone knew Yang Qing's attitude.
"Protect the Nine States?" Yang Qing sneered. "In your dreams! Why should I protect the Nine States for you? Previously, killing Yuexin was just a return of courtesy for letting me out. The reason why I'm still here is just to recuperate. When I'm almost fully recovered, I'll leave. So, you can rest assured that I won't do anything to Nine Regions. "
Hearing this, Lu Ye's heart that had been hanging in the air finally relaxed. Although from their previous interactions, Yang Qing did not have much malice towards the current Nine States, he could not be sure.
At this moment, since he had said so, then it could not be wrong.
Thinking about it, the gap between Yang Qing and the Nine States was equivalent to the gap between Lu Ye, who was in the Divine Ocean Realm, and ordinary people. Would he go and bully those ordinary people at will now? Not to mention that the ideals he had always had did not allow him to do so, even if he did, there would be no sense of accomplishment.
"Senior wants to recover. If there is anything the Nine States can help with, please do not hesitate to tell us. This junior and the many cultivators of the Nine States will not shirk our duty."
These were polite words. Lu Ye also knew that he could not help much. If he had advanced to the Constellation Realm, perhaps he could have gone to the starry sky to find some spiritual jades for Yang Qing. However, he was only in the Divine Ocean Realm and could not even set foot in the starry sky. How could he help?
Saying a few beautiful words would not cause him to lose a piece of meat.
Yang Qing immediately said, "If you say so, then I won't be polite."
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling. Although he did not know what was going to happen, he had a feeling that he had fallen into a trap.
The Dragon Clan expert in front of him had probably been waiting for this moment to come to an agreement with him!
Words that had been spoken were like water that had been poured out. He could only brace himself and ask, "But I wonder how this junior can help?"
